Why are the Nordic countries so happy?

[Plissken]

They aren't. Those happiness index ratings take into account several things, none being actually studying the people themselves.

IDK about Swedes, but When Finns see How cheap our Alcohol is, they become the happiest People on the planet, at least from what I've experienced.

The Nordic countries all got the highest scores. This article claims that trust in the government's handling of covid is an important factor, but I don't believe that.

You're talking about 5 different countries--Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands. They all have different governments so I think attributing their happiness to the government might not be the right answer.

But I don't know what is.

Is there something cultural about those areas? Like maybe they shame complainers, so most people always claim to be super happy?

Isn't it obvious? White privilege.

Of course we are nice, we're Canadian! Out here we're still proud of that shit, unlike the boner running the show. What I am saying if we are miserable with our countries leadership and generally unhappy with the direction it is headed. You can be nice and miserable, I know plenty of people that fit the bill.

I’m Canadian and I’m pretty fucking happy. I think being a fob helps. Have plenty of friends who started off on second/third base and cry about anything.

He's a cool dude for sure! I think generally Brits would get along with Danes better than the rest of Scandinavia (Swedes too posh, Norwegians too outdoorsy and Finns too weird although they don't really count). Lol, obviously I'm joking around a little bit here, but still. Oddly enough I've never been to Malmø though even though I only live like 30 minutes away from it with the train. My impression is that Malmø (Sweden) and Copehagen (Denmark) are more similar than the rest of the cities as they are close and share a certain percentage of residents, but again have never been.

My knowledge of those two cities is entirely from Broen/Bron.
